The divorce resources listed below provide helpful information about a range of important topics, all provided by experts and other knowledgeable individuals. Topics include all things legal and financial, health and body, and more lighthearted content like makeup how-tos, music recommendations, and recipes.

Your resume says you’re CEO of domestic affairs at your house, a multi-tasker who can juggle carpooling, cooking, homework, and dressing up for a date. You are a true financial wizard, one who can stretch $10 to pay for several meals, a baseball and discounted nail polish. But those skills – as resourceful as they are – don’t always translate to earning big cash in the workforce as a divorced woman.

So now may be the time to go to your local university or educational center and whip up these job skills. “The road to high pay is basically a toll road,” Dr. Farrell tells Firstwivesworld. “Every decision you make to earn more money means you have to work more on weekends, or work more hours, or be willing to relocate.”

He notes: “The jobs that pay less include jobs where you have a protected, wonderful environment.” In order to make the big bucks, he said, you have to take risks, work on commission rather than salary, work nights, work outdoors, or, say, work in an industrial area rather than in a pottery studio or a school room. “Follow your bliss, and it’s the money you miss,” he says.

Considering what you did as a mom, this will be a piece of cake in the long run and you will now have enough extra cash to afford someone to do the cooking for you.
